Back is still tight, no pain though. When I'm in the bottom position I can feel it pull on my sacrum. I notice I'm having a hard time bouncing out of my squats and my cleans. You can see it in the video. The 135 clean crashed on me.

So frustrated with these squats. Absolutely no bounce at all. I'm ready to give up. Really don't know what to do at this point.

Coach? Can you come back now?

It's taking me forever to warm up now because of my back so I don't have as much time to work on the lifts. And I've decided not to kill myself over squats. At least not work to max in the morning. Just too tight. I usually feel much better in the afternoon so I'll work to max then. Maybe.

Finally feeling some speed with my squats again. You have no idea how happy I am to get past 80 again.

Let's just call tonight's workout "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly".

Had a function at work today so didn't get to lift this morning. Went to the gym after work, even though I really just wanted to go to bed.

I would tell you how much I lifted but trying to figure out my weight when I have kilos and pounds mixed together is just a bitch. And no, I sucked at math in school and it hasn't gotten any better. I only like kilos because I don't have to add as high.

Worked doubles from the floor with snatches up to about 38 (somewhere around there) then went to singles up to 43. Didn't miss one single lift up to 41 then I hit a mind fuck at 43. Clarked it the first time, made myself do it again and got under it, almost wanted to go down on my knee but saved it then lost the bar behind me. Fuck! Tried again and lost it in front. One more time for good measure and clarked it. Move on.

Clean & 2 jerks
Only did about 3 sets and they just felt horrible. Clean was off. Screw it before I hurt myself.

Squats up to 70ish.

Taking my weights with me to the gym this weekend so I can worry about lifting instead of adding. Fuck math.

I'm really disappointed in my squats. Ankle was hurting this round.

40x3x5 the 5th rep on each one I couldn't touch

Split press 3x10 @ 25 (behind the neck)
These were hard. Probably wore myself out with the rows.

I don't know. My jerks have felt really weak the last couple of weeks. Maybe because of my back?

[bull.dogz]

Sots 3x10 bar only
I have a knot in my back that was hurting today. Hoping it doesn't turn into a popped rib. Ice.

I'm tired. 2 weeks till the meet. At this point I just want to try and stay healthy...well get healthier. I'm tired and cranky and just really need to get laid. I'm pretty sure that would help my lifts.

At the gym today so in pounds.

Haven't been able to get a bounce ever since I hurt my back. And this ankle strain is making it worse.

Sots press 1x10 @53
I have a kink in my neck, this immediately hurt at the base of my skull giving me a headache. I go in Monday to get it adjusted. If it's not one thing, it's another.

Snatch (board/dbl)
53, 53 (missed 2nd one), 53, 63, 63, 73
These felt okay, still feel of. Board wasn't that high but I just feel all over the place.

High pull/snatch (board - thought I'd try something different, felt like I was swinging the bar still)
73, 78, 83, 88, 88 (pressed out)
I liked the feel of these. I think it will help with keeping the bar closer. (video)

Clean & 2 Jerks
88, 88, 103
Jerks didn't feel good at all. Wasn't locking them out, weight was just bouncing back down on me.

Jerks from rack (behind the neck - videos starting at 123)
